Nice to see you!

Three major events occurred for me last year (2010), all in the space of about 2 weeks. I turned 50. The following day I got married. Two weeks later, my oldest daughter became pregnant with her first child and my first grandchild.

Most middle-aged people will tell you that in their minds, they still feel 20 something. It's the same for me.

Wasn't it only yesterday that I was planning a night out with guys from the surf club? That gorgeous new perm. Flaired, cuffed denims and the red t-shirt with the off-the-shoulder frill. Corked platform wedgies. **sigh**

Suddenly I'm looking in the mirror and wondering how 30 years can flash by so damned quickly!

So here I am in cyberspace, sharing my genuine shock and horror with anyone who'll listen and maybe I'll even meet some other over 50s who find themselves in the same predicament!

Welcome to my dilemna!!

Even Hotter!

35C with 81% humidity.

That's classed as a 'stinker' in our neck of the woods.

Blah.

I spent quite a bit of today in the kitchen.

As I'm going away this week for an unknown period of time, I made Adoring Husband a huge batch of toasted muesli to keep him going for a few weeks.

I juiced some organic oranges in my new slow juicer.

Made vegetable fritters for lunch, which were delicious.

I didn't have anything planned for dinner, so I roasted some cauliflower with turmeric/cumin/cheyenne pepper, did baked sweet potato in the jacket and made kale chips.  We had that with some braised steak and onions that I took out of the freezer.  Very satisfying - although I forgot about the kale chips until after dinner was finished ... still munching on them now!

Thought I would share a couple of wedding photos, since I haven't taken any photos recently.







I've got a lot to do over the next 3 days.

With a New Years Eve gathering here on Tuesday night and then I'm leaving on Thursday, I've made a list and will go through it methodically to get everything done.

It means that I need a good nights sleep tonight, hence my early post!  I've had a few late ones recently and the lack of sleep is catching up with me.

So it's good night from me!

Nite all.
